Analysis – analyzing reams of data to find opportunities for improvement and increased response. Technology – applying technologies to measure, improve and automate marketing efforts.

I haven’t been to Borders for a while – I’m hoping that they’ve got access besides T-Mobile as well. … Continue reading →
